The EV and O lights are "pre-emissions test" indicators on the tool. The code is back as we both expected and it brings up is P0441 and my "official" Chrysler Service Manual states it is:
Evap Purge Flow Monitor; Insufficient or excessive vapor flow detected during evaporative emission system operation.
My scan tool is INNOVA 3110 OBD2 Code Reader http://www.canobd2.com/tool/ShowImage.asp?IID=3110 . It is the exact same one that O'Reilly Auto Parts uses for helping their customers as well as an AutoZone I know of. It's not bad for the home user that just needs more to go on than a simple light on the dash. It's by no means the $100,000+ one that the dealership has. There is nothing that can come close to those beasts.
What would be the most likely cause(s) for this code to come on?

I have no idea what kind of scan tool you are using. All scan tools are not the same. But I will take a guess on what I think you are talking about. If you cleared your codes you also wiped out all the monitors that have been run and passed. Now the engine controller is going to have to run all the monitors again and pass them. you may have to drive this vehicle several days at different loads and speeds to get them to pass. If the purge control problem is not fix (and im sure it isn't with a loose cap) that monitor will never pass and the lite will be back on.

Glenn,
2000 Intrepid 2.7L, 79k miles Trouble Code: P0441
I tightened the gas cap and cleared the codes. The MIL went out. I now have no codes in the display of my scan tool, yet, but I do have indicators on my scanner for:
EV = Evaporative System Monitor O = Oxygen Sensor Monitor
I suspect that the indicators on my scan tool are telling me that the systems indicating errors need to go through a full cycle of testing before they will go out.
1.) Could all this be caused by a loose gas cap?
2.) Is my assumption on the test cycle completion correct?
Thanks
